A year ago, Jia Xu made suggestions for Cao Cao, allowing him to easily defeat the forces of Li Jue and Guo Si. However, Jia Xu himself was also jealous of Cao Cao.
The seller seeks glory and is cunning. This is the impression Jia Xu left on Cao Cao. Such a person is also very resourceful. How can Cao Cao not be wary of him?
Jia Xu didn't notice this at first, but he was such a smart man that it didn't take long for him to realize that Cao Cao didn't trust him.
Once he found out that Cao Cao didn't trust him, Jia Xu immediately guessed the reason why Cao Cao didn't trust him. He turned his back on his master and defected to Cao, but he ruthlessly designed to frame his former master, so he attracted Cao Cao's attention.
suspicion.
Jia Xu could only smile bitterly at this. Could it be that he wanted to tell Cao Cao that he did not regard Li Jue as his master and that he would be loyal and responsible to Sikong in the future? Although that was indeed a true reflection of his heart at that time, but
Will Cao Cao believe it?
Forget it, Jia Xu is not a high-profile person anyway. He has not been reused in twenty years, and Jia Xu is not dissatisfied with it. If Cao Cao asks him something, then he will help him make suggestions. If Cao Cao keeps neglecting him,
Then he would live in seclusion, hide his strength and bide his time.
Today, as usual, Jia Xu was sitting at home reading a book, when suddenly a servant came to report that a visitor was coming.
Is there a visitor coming? Jia Xu was also surprised. Since he entered Xuchang, he has had little contact with Cao Cao's subordinates. Who on earth would come to visit him unexpectedly?
"Have you asked who it is?" Jia Xu asked the servant.
"She is a woman about thirty years old. She claims to be the wife of the late Marquis Wen." The servant replied respectfully.
Lu Bu's wife? Why did she come to him?
However, after thinking about it, Jia Xu soon had a rough answer in mind when he contacted Liu Bei's request for Diao Chan from Cao Cao, which had been widely circulated recently.
"No." If the other party really came to ask her for advice, Jia Xu would not see her. Jia Xu had no intention of getting involved in such a matter.
"Master, I told her to leave, but she refused to leave." After a while, the servant came in with a grimace and reported the matter. If it were an ordinary woman, he would have driven her out by force without any hesitation. But
The Yan family is not as good as an ordinary woman. Although Lu Bu died, Cao Cao still took good care of his family. Although he was imprisoned in Xuchang in name, he was treated very generously in all aspects. Otherwise, the Yan family would not be the same.
Maybe he wandered to his doorstep.
The master may not take such a person seriously at all, but he is just a slave. Who knows what will happen if he offends the other party casually?
"Then let him come in." Jia Xu frowned. It seemed that this person was not someone who could be easily dismissed. However, Jia Xu did not have any worries. She refused to let go. How could a woman like her help her?
what?
Under the guidance of her servants, Mrs. Yan came to the living room of Jia's house and met Jia Xu for the first time.
This is a sinister man with deep eyes and a calm expression. It is impossible to tell what he is thinking.
Yan's first impression of Jia Xu was very bad. She didn't like him, and even instinctively felt a sense of disgust.
But now that he is asking for help from others, Yan has no choice but to smile.
After briefly explaining what he wanted during this trip, Yan waited patiently for Jia Xu's answer.
Jia Xu's reaction from beginning to end was very dull. After Du Yan finished speaking, he remained silent and just sat there with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was falling asleep.
Yan didn't rush him, just waited quietly.
However, after a while, Jia Xu could only be heard saying slowly: "Of course Xu has a plan, but it can't be said or heard."
How could Jia Xu do such a thing that benefits others but not oneself, and may even harm oneself? After he finished saying this, he still closed his eyes. His intention was very obvious. I would never do it again anyway.
One more thing, it doesn't matter if you, madam, don't want to leave, just sit here like this.
Yan didn't expect to receive such a cold reception, and she was slightly angry at the moment, but she soon adjusted her mood.
"Mr. Wenhe, if you have any idea, please give me some advice." Yan's tone was no longer as polite as before, "If Mr. Wenhe doesn't want to tell me, then there is nothing I can do. But in the future, if something happens on the street
There are rumors that Jia Xu, the official of Guanglu, invited Lu Bu's deceased wife into the palace to talk about it, but then he did something indecent to her in the palace..."
"Rumors are just rumors after all. They can't scare me." Jia Xu still looked like an old god, not even blinking an eyelid.
"What if I go to Cao Sikong in person to complain and confirm the so-called rumors?" Yan pressed forward step by step.
Hearing these words, Jia Xu's squinted eyes finally opened.
It is said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients were honest and did not deceive me. This is what Jia Xu thinks now.
If he had known better, he would not have said anything like "It's a built-in plan that cannot be said." Instead, he would have just told the other party that he had no choice. Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
The so-called wise men are not able to cope with all situations. If Yan really spreads such rumors and goes to complain to Cao Cao in person, then he will definitely face a lot of trouble.
Mr. Yan has no choice but to use this rogue method to deal with extremely smart people.
As in the original history, Liu Qi sought advice from Zhuge Liang and asked him for advice on how to protect himself under the pressure of Cai. Zhuge Liang initially refused to interfere on the grounds that it was Liu Biao's family matter. Later, Liu Qi also used the method of smoking in the room.
Will the extremely rogue method of using the ladder force Zhuge Liang to submit? If you don't give me some advice, I won't even think about leaving. I'll stay in the attic for the rest of my life.
Now Yan's behavior is somewhat similar to Liu Qi's, forcing Jia Xu into a desperate situation. If you don't give me an idea, your reputation will be ruined.
Jia Xu was nearly fifty years old, and he was considered an old man in ancient times. An old man lured a widow into his home and molested her. If word spread, the criticism and censure he would receive is terrifying to think about.
Although Jia Xu likes to keep a low profile, it does not mean that he is willing to be infamous, let alone be pointed at and scolded by others. Besides, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to correct himself, then he is likely to go to jail, or even
It's not impossible to lose your head.
Even though Jia Xu was very resourceful, he had nothing to do with the Yan family at this time. Now he only had two choices, one was to tell the Yan family his plan, the other was to kill the Yan family and destroy all traces of the body.
If you choose the second option, you will be in far greater trouble. Besides, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Jia Xu does not have the kind of adventurous personality.
"I hope Madam can guarantee that no matter who asks, they will not say that this plan was planned by me..."
Yan nodded after hearing this and made her own promise.
